    Role Overview:

    Our client is expanding the engineering team responsible for ensuring the stability and predictable behaviour of their distributed services and platforms. This role involves hands-on production work, including monitoring, incident response, troubleshooting, and continuous improvements that increase platform reliability over time.

     

    You will work as part of an SRE shift rotation covering late-evening and night hours, ensuring end-to-end ownership of incidents β€” from identifying user impact to post-incident follow-ups and preventive improvements.

     

    Key Responsibilities:

    β€” Working in shift-based operations: monitoring, alert response, incident handling, escalation when needed;

    β€” Participating in incident handling: initial classification, technical investigation, coordination with engineering teams, and following-up improvements;

    β€” Developing and refining observability across platforms (metrics/alerts, dashboards, logs);

    β€” Reducing operational toil: small automation, runbooks, and repeatable processes (the β€œmake it easier next time” mindset);

    β€” Collaborating with development teams to improve production readiness (basic reliability practices, cleaner incident follow-ups).

     

    Ideal profile for the position:

    Core skills:

    β€” Good Linux skills in production environments (debugging basics, system services, logs, performance basics);

    β€” Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, load balancing basics, TLS fundamentals);

    β€” Experience with containers and image lifecycle basics (Docker or compatible runtimes);

    β€” Ability to troubleshoot across application, network, and infrastructure layers using logs/metrics and simple tools (curl, basic traffic/log analysis; scripting is a plus);

    β€” Basic familiarity with observability: metrics and alerting, dashboards, logging (any modern stack is fine).

    Experience:

    β€” 1+ year in a production-focused role (Ops / Support L2+ / DevOps / Junior SRE β€” what matters is real production exposure);

    β€” Participation in production incidents (triage, investigation, escalation, basic follow-ups);

    β€” Availability to cover late-evening and night shifts, in rotation.

    SRE fundamentals (basic understanding):

    β€” You understand the difference between β€œjust running infra” and SRE as a discipline: reliability targets, fast detection, clear escalation, and consistent follow-up;

    β€” You’re familiar with SLI/SLO and can explain them in simple words (high-level understanding is enough).

     

    What will be an advantage:

    β€” Familiarity with Kubernetes (deep production ownership is not required yet);

    β€” Exposure to AWS services such as EC2, ALB/NLB, RDS, S3, and IAM basics;

    β€” Exposure to Terraform and/or Ansible (small changes, basic understanding of principles);

    β€” Experience working in high-availability environments where downtime actually matters.

     

    The company guarantees you the following benefits:

    β€” Global Collaboration: Join an international team where everyone treats each other with respect and moves towards the same goal;

    β€” Autonomy and Responsibility: Enjoy the freedom and responsibility to make decisions without the need for constant supervision;

    β€” Competitive Compensation: Receive competitive salaries reflective of your expertise and knowledge as our partner seeks top performers;

    β€” Remote Work Opportunities: Embrace the flexibility of fully remote work, with the option to visit company offices that align with your current location;

    β€” Paid Time Off: Prioritise work-life balance with paid vacation and sick leave days to prevent burnout;

    β€” Career Development: Access continuous learning and career development opportunities to enhance your professional growth;

    β€” Corporate Culture: Experience a vibrant corporate atmosphere with exciting parties and team-building events throughout the year;

    β€” Referral Bonuses: Refer talented friends and receive a bonus after they successfully complete their probation period;

    β€” Medical Insurance Support: Choose the right private medical insurance and receive compensation (full or partial) based on the cost;

    β€” Flexible Benefits: Customise your compensation by selecting activities or expenses you'd like the company to cover, such as a gym subscription, language courses, Netflix subscription, spa days, and more;

    β€” Education Foundation: Participate in a biannual raffle for a chance to learn something new unrelated to your job as part of your commitment to ongoing education.

     

    Interview process:

    β€” A 30-minute interview with a Recruiter to get to know you and your experience;

    β€” 1st stage of technical interview (1 h) with the DevOps team to assess your theoretical skills;

    β€” 2nd stage of technical interview (1 h) with the DevOps team to assess your hard skills;

    β€” A final interview to gauge your fit with the company culture and working style.
